July 5th, 2011

AWE- ALMIGHTY GOD!

Make My Life Excellent In You-Constant In Your Courage!

I Kimberly Ann McCarthy will not participate in the ease and excess of my culture today, I will simply-significantly be completely Yours, being found on the path of Your Kingdom purposes at play all around me, therefore, stepping out in this day with an eternal edge keeps the sacrifice in salvation and makes a forever difference!

Be found in God's Kingdom purposes in play all around you and step out in this day with an eternal edge.

Keep the sacrifice in your salvation today and make an eternal difference. Forever was seeded with self-sacrifice. http://thebridegroomscafe.com

"Two things I ask of you, LORD; do not refuse me before I die: 8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. 9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, 'Who is the LORD?' Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.

I agree, I hate it when people lie to me. I hate it when people blame me for their choices. I hate it when people spin a yarn so long that it trips up everyone in its path and causes all kinds of disunity that wasn't necessary. Just Tell The Truth! Why is it so hard for people to tell the truth?

A Minute With Maxwell

Tenacity

A bulldog will fight, it is tenacious. It holds on to things tightly. If people were tenacious as bulldogs, they would not let go, they would be successful. Many people don't reach success, because they are not tenacious, they give up too quickly. Be encouraged, to hang in there a little longer and just see if that tenacious spirit does not get you where you want to go.

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This Verse! AWE GOD!

I am going to be tenacious and LET GOD WORK… I will not interrupt His Kingdom purposes at play in my life, even if it seems like it is taking too long to see-understand His plan. I WILL GIVE GOD TIME TO WORK! I will have a tenacious faith-belief that waits on God, even if I can't see ahead as I step out in the Light He has given me today. I will tenaciously wait on God and hold back my impulsive nature that wants to kindle its own fire and walk by a man made light. I will tenaciously cling to God, dig my roots deeper in His Kingdom, believing that God's Got This!

But while the Spirit of God is thus the author of sanctification, yet there is a visible agency employed which must not be forgotten. "Sanctify them," said Jesus, "through thy truth: thy word is truth." The passages of Scripture which prove that the instrument of our sanctification is the Word of God are very many. The Spirit of God brings to our minds the precepts and doctrines of truth, and applies them with power. These are heard in the ear, and being received in the heart, they work in us to will and to do of God's good pleasure. The truth is the sanctifier, and if we do not hear or read the truth, we shall not grow in sanctification. We only progress in sound living as we progress in sound understanding. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Do not say of any error, "It is a mere matter of opinion." No man indulges an error of judgment, without sooner or later tolerating an error in practice. Hold fast the truth, for by so holding the truth shall you be sanctified by the Spirit of God.

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This! AWE GOD!

Truth! Where is it? How sad it is that it is not in our lives, which by this word above shows me, we are not in God's truth like we should be, if so, truth would be flowing from us. Truth is missing in our generation. How sad is that? We don't even trust when people say something that it is the truth. We have to check out our emails at snope.com because we don't trust them to be true. My heart grieves for the lack of truth in close relationships, we lie, exaggerate, rationalize, anything but tell the fullness of truth. All I can do is hope that God changes me and changes others! Make it so Jesus. 100% Truth Proof!

a.w.tozer quotes from "the knowledge of the holy"

The essence of sin is to will one thing, for to set our will against the will of God is to dethrone God and make ourselves supreme in the little kingdom of Mansoul. Kierkegaard

Sins may multiply like the sands by the seashore, but they are yet one. Sins are because sin is.

Before the advent of Christ the prophet Isaiah identified sin as rebellion against the will of God and the assertion of the right of each man to choose for himself the way he shall go.

To save us completely Christ must reverse the bent of our nature; He must plant a new principle within us so that our subsequent conduct will spring out of a desire to promote the honor of God and the good of our fellow men.

I agree, it is all about the heart, our hearts which are desperately wicked because of our human condition. We want to do things the right way, but often we make the wrong choices.

Verse Of The Day@biblegateway.com

"In that day you will say: "Give praise to the LORD, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted." Isaiah 12:4NIV

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This Verse! AWE GOD!

Today is full of potential-possibility-promise in Christ, in the Hope of His Glory in me and in you! #AWE-GOD Is 12:4

****My Prayer! I Place All My Expectation In You, Almighty God!*****

Psalm 62:5 (amplified) My soul, wait only upon God and silently submit to Him; for my hope and expectation are from Him. He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

He is a God who undoubtedly loves discovery… maybe because He never got to learn anything. He's simly always known. The Bible beautifully portrays Him as a God of progressive revelation.

All Scripture is God-breathed, but He purposely did not exhale it in one long breath. God used time, man, and the unfolding of history to breathe sixty-six books onto parchment over the course of 1500 years. The Old Testament is incomplete without the New. The New Testament cannot be understood without the Old.

Those of us who believe in the truth of the Word also attest to the sufficiency of Scripture.

2 Peter 1:3-4

For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue). 4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This Verse! AWE GOD!

Through them you may escape…. Through the promises we have an escape route from our human condition to the divine nature of God. We can have the divine nature of God in us and working through us.

The sufficiency of Scripture means that God has given me His Word containing all I absolutely must know and must have. The Bible is complete and fully sufficient.

The last century has uncovered all sorts of interesting archaeological finds that support and expound upon Scripture. Are these discoveries accidental?

2 Peter 3:15-16

And consider that the long-suffering of our Lord [His slowness in avenging wrongs and judging the world] is salvation (that which is conducive to the soul's safety), even as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the spiritual insight given him,16 Speaking of this as he does in all of his letters. There are some things in those [epistles of Paul] that are difficult to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist and misconstrue to their own utter destruction, just as [they distort and misinterpret] the rest of the Scriptures

Never forget that arrogance is not a sign of true intelligence. Beth Moore

God is not only right. He will prove right. Nothing remains hidden except by His Hand. Beth Moore

1 Corinthians 13:12

For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God].

DAY TWO…………………………………………

Daniel 5:3

Then they brought in the gold and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them

Beloved, revel in the wonder that God can change our minds and make us smarter than we'd be! Beth Moore

Daniel 5:1-9

BELSHAZZAR THE king [descendant of Nebuchadnezzar] made a great feast for a thousand of his lords, and he drank his wine in the presence of the thousand.2 Belshazzar, while he was tasting the wine, commanded that the gold and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple [out of the sacred area--the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies] which was in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.3 Then they brought in the gold and silver vessels which had been taken out of the temple, the house of God which was in Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.4 They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone.5 Immediately and suddenly there appeared the fingers of a man's hand and wrote on the plaster of the wall opposite the candlestick [so exposed especially to the light] in the king's palace, and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.6 Then the color and the [drunken] hilarious brightness of the king's face was changed, and his [terrifying] thoughts troubled and alarmed him; the joints and muscles of his hips and back gave way and his knees smote together.7 The king cried aloud [mightily] to bring in the enchanters or soothsayers, the Chaldeans [diviners], and the astrologers. The king said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever will read this writing and show me the interpretation of it will be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold put about his neck and will be the third ruler in the kingdom.8 And all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation of it.9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly perplexed and alarmed and the color faded from his face, and his lords were puzzled and astounded.

God did not let the toasting of the unholy with unholy vessels go… He Immediately showed His displeasure. Very interesting that this was something God did not let go of but immediately took care of.

2 Timothy 2:20-21

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also [utensils] of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble [use] and some for menial and ignoble [use].21 So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

26 And that they may come to their senses [and] escape out of the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him, [henceforth] to do His [God's] will.

My Thoughts By His Holy Spirit About This Verse! AWE GOD!

Separate Yourself from contact with that which will pollute your Christianity. When you do this, then you become a vessel apart and able to be used for Kingdom purposes.

Do you feel like Satan has used you in any way—and to any degree to bring dishonor to the name of Christ? Satan can't inhabit us if we are "sealed for the day of redemption" (see Eph 4:30) but he can certainly use us for his purposes if he gains our cooperation.

Have we, the people of God who are called to be builders of home and church, ever been used by the enemy to tear them down?

Have we been used by the enemy to cause others either to stumble or to have less faith?

Were we once cynics and scoffers in regard to spiritual things that are now dear to us?

Do we fear we may have influenced others adversely before we changed and don't know how to make up for it?

Have we treated someone dishonorable even though we were Christians, and now it is too late to fix it?

Repentance is one of the most wonderful privileges Christ has given us through His Cross. Beth Moore

We get off of repentant knees as white as snow:

Psalm 51:7Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean [ceremonially]; wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow

None of us have all the answers in these times. We do have Jesus WHO is THE ANSWER, so as we grow in Him and share with others-life is good!

We are forgetful of this truth, that the nearer a man lives to God the more intensely has he to mourn over his own evil heart. Charles Spurgeon

Meekness is a bridge to blessing. It is an attitude God honors with the enjoyment of His great peace. Meekness meanders and moves in and out of the halls of heaven. It sets us up to be served by our Savior. Meekness is the manner by which our Master can move us forward in His will. Our meekness transports us toward absolute surrender and obedience to God. It is the meek who tend to trust God. It is the meek who most want to faithfully follow Jesus. Indeed, meekness is most like Jesus. Jesus said of Himself, "I am meek…" (Matthew 11:29, KJV). It is here, with meek Jesus, that we find rest for our souls. However, meek does not mean we are weak; on the contrary we are strong in our Savior.

Meekness is a conduit for what Christ has for us. He has an inheritance for His children. What is His is ours. He owns the land and all that is within its expanse. We see His quiet white clouds cover the mountaintops like soft sheets. As the sun rises, its warmth pulls back the submissive sheets of cloud cover and introduces us to the day. He has given us His earth for our great enjoyment. It is on the side of the green mountain of His creation that we sit quietly and contemplate on Christ. His peace prods our pride to be still and know Him. He hushes our hurried spirit to be silent before Providence. A silent tongue many times exhibits a wise head and a holy heart. We have His earth to enjoy now and to inherit in eternity. The meek understand this priceless privilege. They enjoy great peace.

Even as we suffer, we topple tribulations with trust in Jesus while we rest in His great peace. Christ's consolations carry us along the way. His peace is a platform for His faithfulness to perform. As if watching an engaging drama on stage or in film, we wait until the end for the plot to fully unfold. If we jump to conclusions or draw premature assumptions, we may get caught up in bad beliefs or false fears. So life is a stage where God's great drama plays out. We are not to fret over what seems fearful or a forgone conclusion. God's plot is still unfolding by faith. His will is being revealed. His cast of characters is still in development. While His plot thickens, we trust. Until the end, enjoy His great peace.

We may not have an abundance of stuff, but we have great peace. It is better to do stuff with our Savior than to have stuff without Him. He is our wisdom when we face complex circumstances. He is to the one to whom we cling during a crisis. We silence our murmuring so we can be silent before Him. It is in silence before our Savior that His great peace saturates our soul. It engulfs our edginess with eternal assurance. There may be things on earth that we seem deprived of from their enjoyment aspects. But, there is coming a day where this accursed earth will be no more, and we will enjoy the benefits of His new earth without sin, sickness, or sorrow. We will inherit the land of our Lord. In the meantime, go to God for His great peace. Like a river of love, it attends to our soul with soothing security and peace. Enjoy God's great peace in Christ. Fret not, but have faith in Him. He seeks the meek.
